F1 2018 Gameplay

Recommended Posts

Yeah I agree, I don't understand why there's no transmission whines, downshift pops & bangs etc...The game doesn't even sound like there's a gearbox lmao. Such a shame because everything is looking nice so far.

Nobody noticed the ridiculous speed of the Ferrari pit crew when they come out of the box for the pit stop? Min 7:40...also the car seems on automatic drive again when you're in the pitlan...at lest it doens't seems to steer at 90 degrees like in 2017...

The thing thats get me depressed here, is that the car still drifts a u-turn and goes back on to the track when it hits the gravel, instead of keeping the direction It had towards the barriers.And I also se the damages is still as poor as always. :s

-the explosive transmission sounds when up- and downshifting are missing, it doesn't sound believable at the moment.

-on-throttle the 1st turbo whistle sound should be linked to the gear up- and downshifts or rather the rpm (which they got pretty close to with the Ferrari this year), the 2nd turbo whistle sound should be linked as a gradual sine curve to the overall speed.

-off-throttle the 1st turbo whistle should become almost silent whereas the 2nd should gradually slide down the pitch and keep its volume up in harmony to the overall speed.

(We can't talk about spectator audio yet, nor the Honda engine.)

If compared to the 2017 / 2018 real life TV Broadcast + real life Onboard footages, Codies F1 2018's engine sounds seem to be totally underwhelming especially if it's also being compared to the likes of iRacing / Assetto Corsa / Raceroom etc. who managed to create much more believable engine sounds than Codemasters have ever achieved.

It's truly a bad joke that they never seem to fully nail the engine sounds even though their Rally series is known to be an audiophiles secret stash of getting closer to Nirvana.

Maybe 2019 will be the time for Codemasters' redemption? (I personally doubt it, but who knows.....)

------------------------------

Two questions that come across my mind regarding this topic:

1. What happened to the supposed "2017 winter testing recorded audio files" that Codies apparently couldn't use last year as they got ahold of them at a very late point in development?

2. If this indeed are the records that Codies were talking about, how on earth can someone butcher the outcome this much so that the end result is almost unrecognizable to the real deal for the most part?

I made this video just to show how awesome the game would be if it had real onboard sounds!

Can the finished product of F1 2018 reach fps60??????Because until now, all F1 2018 gameplay, fps are completely unable to reach fps60,all are fps30 or even below. Really very worrying!I hope someone can answer me with certainty.

They probably all rendered and uploaded it with 30fps (on YouTube). Game should run with 60fps!

Yeah youtube has an amount of compression on itwhich limits what it can show so the real thing won't handle or look exactly as Youtube is showing it. But it's enough at least to give us a taste. It does this to all games so F1 2018 isn't unique in that. I've often found games look and play better in person than they do coming off youtube.

>That spray from 14:40 onwards.. Looks like heavy rain will be a real challenge.

Finally, it's been long overdue, thankfully they seem to have drastically increased rain spray density to replicate the view of real wet weather racing.

(If only the red backlight on the rear of the cars was a little bit brighter / more visible as in real life.....)

Even though I don't like driving on rainy conditions on F1 games, you know what I am going to test first, when I get my hands on the game. I mean (Read this on J. Clarkson voice) How hard can it be?!

Yeah that looked very tricky very brave taking on Paul Ricard in the wet especially with it being a new circuit. Kind of reminds me of some of my first ever races on new tracks as my first race at Yeongam on F1 2010 was a wet one I remember and very tricky as was my first Indian GP on the Buddh track. Also my very first race at Sochi ended up wet too on F1 2014. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself at Paul Ricard but I'll be ready if it does.

Okay, so, this is one of these cases:Right?

Yeah it certainly will be a challenge if it happens. I didn't know any of those tracks and I don't really know Paul Ricard as I've never raced it. I had heard of it as I'd heard it used to host the French GP before (in the days before Magny Cours) and has often been used as a test track but I've never driven the track myself on a game I have raced Magny Cours though before several times on many F1 games but not Paul Ricard.
